Understand that 7 days' storage is on a rotating basis.  You can only keep the most recent 7 days - older than that will be deleted automatically.  Thus, you don't run out of storage after 7 days.  If you're concerned about videos being lost, download them.  I use a Python script that does this automatically for me so I never lose a single video.  If you're interested, PM me your email address.  Otherwise, proactively download them yourself.
